Black activist,though not active;

See no action, just paying dues

Fist for caption, mind captive

Dreamers dream, just different hues 

Rights civil, for those civilian

Who Act civilized, just for show

Loose Liberal, still no liberty 

Statue of liberation, we’ll never know

Deserving

By some stretch of the mind, I think I deserved to be mistreated  
Battle scars are there to remind me, of being down, I’m not defeated
Embracing all the pain, it’s not enough, I feel like I deserved more
Broken down to be built back better, I know weakness left my core
Roads we take are our own, I know my mom will be good 
Paths we now know as bad, a different view from where she stood  
Happiness I did not find in a house, where two were not home
The absence of, taught the meaning of stay, I learn to define roam
The innocence of the youth should not be abused, I suffer for them 
 Loneliness of hearing the lights go off, if this is Love I Condemn
There are no stories to be written, only short poems where love began 
If History is to repeat itself, peace into her soul, woe unto man.

No Retreats

Do I want more or do I settle for less;
Tore out the page of a freeman Born bless;
To Fight over this street Sorry I can't deal;
They jack sons and daughters against will;
When you know more you will do mas;
Not there no more where you was;
The battle will cause you to think I blew it;
At War, penning my name , see yours, you withdrew it.

Sean West

It's twenty eighteen, nothing new to see;
I'm in the city with the twins , Blue and Bee;
Dirt off my shoulder, but the snow a Little colder;
Turnt down the super bowl, my games a little bolder;
Jumpman jump back jump Jay I’m back; 
Rep the North, I birthed a saint and chiraq; 
Made Jesus walk and touch the sky;
The blueprint to what happens, if I do try;
Send your wolves, ain't no help for the butler;
I got sweet sixteen on your heels, I'm a hustler;
Decoding the gift, the curse I can’t Un do;
I Blacked out, saw my kingdom come to;
Falling asleep at wheel, pass the steel;
Talking through the wire, no pain kills;
Dropped out, Graduation, made for stronger Heartbreaks;
Swiftly saw power, all the lights on a mistake l;
I dig your honor, but honey I’m up before five;
Father stretch my hands, I’m famous so why drive.

Isolation

My heart my life my all Got me contemplating...
stuck in thought, worried, not concentrating...
feeling like I’m about to lose...
society telling me that I have to choose...
rhythm or blues, 
it’s not black or white, decision getting hard...
not right so I stand guard, marred...
I stand alone so I’m not married...
baggage I carried...
no time to waste so I buried, the ring...
no one watched but they see, 
and say the best things in life are not for me...
who am I to disagree...
this is not my will but my decree...

SPRITE

Life gave me lemons so I took heed
Squeezed out the juice and planted the seed
Then they said a tree won’t grow 
If it never been done how they know
Those who spoke fruit I speak Youth 
Tree of knowledge and the seed is truth
Fists clenched because I know there’s more
They looking to see if it’s the same as before 
Rising the price, sip lemonade with laughter
It’s not the produce, It the product they after

Brothers

Grew up on Roots, proud to be black

Once leaves start to fall realized we lacked

Different strokes for different folks,  it seemed

The worlds different, see it’s condemned to Kadeem 

To promote higher learning some went to college  

Tuition fees, books, and fed BS represented knowledge 

No fair, Failing to get on the bus

Menace to society, justice, not just to us

Looking for a spark, no news was good

So two men become boys in the hood

Clock Work

What can go wrong, when I write
Nothing in the day, so spend the night 
Just to buy time, for my eyes to watch
Two hands go down, and up a notch
Attention being paid, please don't mind
Working to get ahead, fine being behind 
Anticipating the second, the moment is hours
Patience is the present, a gift for your future, as ours....

Who Knew

No one told her she was beautiful, 
so confidence she lacked...
Everyone lied to her she believed, 
no way of finding facts...
Anyone could tell she was hurt, 
seeing the pain in her eyes...
Someone noticed what they all missed, 
that her love was until death dies...

L.O.L

Addition by subtraction turned one and one into two...

Lust over lies caused the division of us too...

Separate beings on a collision course for truth...

Saga is discontinued, can’t separate you from Youth ...
